In wet lease arrangements, airlines enter into mutual agreements with one another and operate flights on each other’s behalf. The airline provides their aircraft, including cockpit and cabin crew, as well as maintenance and insurance for a defined period of time. In order to reliably operate all scheduled flights, especially during the high season in summer, we rely on the support of other airlines. This year, Lufthansa will be supporting Discover Airlines in this way.
